From the Raleigh News and Observer (5/9/11): Some public records would not really be public - at least to that segment of the public comprising inmates, probationers and parolees - under a bill that surfaced last week in a judiciary committee meeting. HB 348, sponsored by Rep. Shirley Randleman, a Republican from Wilkes County, is meant to protect state agency employees by blocking offenders' access to their personnel files.

From American Medical News (5/9/11): A long-running push for increased transparency in the medical profession has led medical boards nationwide to release more information about physicians' professional and disciplinary history online during the last 15 years.

From the Asheville Citizen-Times (4/23/11): City officials have declined to release detailed information about a former police evidence manager under an exemption in state personnel law designed to bolster public confidence in government.

Elon University's Bateman Team has been selected as one of three national finalists in this year's Public Relations Student Society of America's Bateman Case Study Competition.
